Behm's high school career, in which he was a two time undefeated Illinois state champion, granted him the opportunity to wrestle for Michigan State University. During his collegiate career, Behm became a two-time All-American, a two-time Big Ten champion, and a three-time Midlands champion.

In his post-collegiate freestyle career, Behm's success continued nationally and internationally. In AAU and USWF tournaments between 1969 and 1973, he won five national championships, received All-American honors 11 times, and was twice named Outstanding Wrestler.

Representing the United States in the 1968 Olympic games, Behm earned a silver medal in the first and only "no match final" in the history of the sport. In 1970, he was the first American to capture a gold medal at the Tbilisi tournament, wrestling seven nine-minute matches in one day.^[2]
